Michael Hanake meets the Blair Witch Project in Kim Gok's Exhausted, a vicious kick in the pants to everyone in the audience, all in the name of "style." A man meets a mute woman, and as any reasonable person would do in such a situation, makes her his prostitute. But the pimping is the least of our problems. As we get exhausted by the grainy faux-16mm camerawork, the film gets increasingly deranged. The closest thing we get to a sympathetic character is the pimp, simply because he's got too much self-respect to fuck a mute whore. Everyone else is either a gory mess, or a gory mess in disguise. Even the prostitute, which even a thug like Lars von Trier would make likeable, comes off as a delirious scary woman whose shrieks strike like blows to the jugular.
Kim Gok has seemingly abandoned the Marxist critiques of his short films, going instead for mindless brutality which culminates in an endless bloody freak-show involving, among other things, a pair of scissors going where pairs of scissors should not go. In the middle of the bloodbath, we get an extended long take of the beaten prostitute's near-dead face, but it does not elicit sympathy or pity. In fact, images of the victim only make us shy away in shock. (Indeed, the extended sequence led to continuous walk-outs during the Pusan screening.) The long take invites us to stare, but it assumes we're as sadistic as the victimizer (and the film) is. Meanwhile the sound-effects (mostly a rumbling bassline that shakes the theater) pulsates with pure wickedness. With Hanake, shock creates reflection, which asks that we be critical. Here, we only want to escape. I suppose Exhausted has some virtues; the shots of drilling machines and factories provide a mesmerizing phallic backdrop to the pimp and prostitute's pursuits. But everything else hurts too much. At least Kim Ki-duk lets us breathe. Exhausted makes Bad Guy look like Lady and the Tramp. (asiaarts.ucla.edu)
算是不错的了，拍得蛮艺术，逻辑推理再严谨点，节奏再紧凑点，就优秀了！
能理解小成本电影的不易，但确实注水以及有bug，画面真的不错，就是我看睡着了，推理性不强
其实这种慢节奏，有一种娓娓道来的感觉，没有刻意迎合现在这种快餐节奏，反而让喜欢的人更喜欢。当然，电影看完都知道严华替换了林音的身份，但真不知道她这样做的目的，觉得也没有动机啊！严华只不过是一个非常热爱芭蕾舞的仓管人，为了能有机会上台，开始被主任潜规则了。有点不太明白，她为什么要替后来被照相馆老板杀死的林音报仇。而那个主任好像一直就没有交代，而严华自己还在舞蹈队呆了那么久。看片子有点挺讨厌沈队的，明明是画像师章欣帮他破了案，帮他找到了主要线索，然而动不动就说人家没用？张口闭口老是没时间了，后来追查枪支沈队中枪住院交代他是癌症晚期，这才知道他的苦衷。顺便说一下，画像师张欣确实挺神奇的，片尾说他又去甘肃破连环杀人案。忽然觉得可以把华相思张欣做个系列，多拍几部以他为主角，应该挺不错的。
看到一半基本上就知道来回反转了，总体还不错
一部悬疑片？导演是个文艺青年。文艺悬疑片过瘾又不够精彩。一个出场就自带忧伤的首席舞蹈角色，气质绝佳。还有一个会侵犯女同志的主任，不知道这里是不是导演想说明什么，又什么都没交代，像挖到一半的井，不知道用什么素材再深挖，就只能停在这里。
画面可以，但是剧情真的太水了，开头就猜到结局，本来以为会有反转的，额……
这部电影其实不能用悬疑片的眼光来看待，它更像是一副沉寂多年的素描画，揭开一层层尘埃的面纱，同时也揭开了一件件过去被掩埋的真相
除了进度缓慢的拖沓感觉其他的都不错，悬疑探案还是要有吸引人的地方。
整体完成度还不错，剧情可以再浓缩一下，个人觉得7分左右。
整部影片最喜欢严华，很纯粹的人设，为了梦想和友情放弃了自己的一生。芦苇荡跳舞那几段太动人了
林音希望严华走出自己的生命之路。
悬疑片和侦探片都缺点意思
意外发现的电影竟然有意外的惊喜，和石黑一雄原著小说内容无关但形而上的哲学思辨让电影内核饱满且与书有异曲同工之妙，摄影在细节上的处理也很微妙，可惜导演双管齐下的叙事策略似乎并不太能吸引人，剧作上有些冗长包括一些情节无法自圆其说，精心挑选的时代背景也没有起到太大的作用

《远山淡影》2022－187
剧本还行，虽然很俗套，结局一点点反转。没什么明星大腕，鼓励一下国产悬疑吧。
但是他俩一起跳舞太绝了！
两分给调色和摄影。故事的情节设定到最后都不能自圆其说，人物动机非常突兀，越到后面转场越像ppt
从网络电影的角度，给一个豆瓣四星没问题。在众多盗墓、玄幻、黑帮题材里面，有认认真真讲故事想法和能力的团队太少了。整体影像氛围感很棒，虽说故事还有一些小bug，瑕不掩瑜，配乐也很出色！
整个画风确实很喜欢，但我觉得剧情稍稍拖沓了一点，还不错，有反转，也有思考
